BLÜDHAVEN
3:35 PM LOCAL TIME

Mar'i sat on the couch in her Tamaranian form watching tv. She flipped to random channels stopping momentarily to watch them then flipped again. She eats fruity pebbles from a white bowl.

She heard her father come from his bedroom dressed casually. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and stopped in his tracks. He forgot she was here.

"Good morning." He nodded.

She waved her spoon.

"What time did you wake up?"

"A few hours ago I think I'm still on Tamaranian time..."

He nodded and rubbed his face. He stretched which caused his shirt to lift. She noticed fresh bruises on his stomach and frowned.

Don't ask... you don't want to know.

"Did you sleep well?" Dick asked walking over with a blue mug of coffee.

"Yes very well thank you." She smiled.

"I have a friend coming over and she's going to talk to you, we're gonna get you enrolled into school and everything." Dick nodded.

"I should get dressed then..." Mar'i said putting down her bowl and rushing to her room.

"Do I need to be human for this?" She shouted pulling on a pair of grey sweatpants.

"Um... it's up to you." Dick shouted back.

She pulled on a black turtle neck. As she was about to exit her room she glanced over at her nightstand. Her mother's necklace laid prominently.

She walked over and it picked it up admiring it. She put the necklace on and tucked it on the inside of her turtle neck.

She exited her room to see Dick doing dishes.

"So who's this friend?" Mar'i asked.

"Her name is Barbara I've known her for a really long time, we're close." He said not looking at her.

There was a knock on the door. Dick dropped the plate he was washing into the sink causing water and soap to splash all over him. Mar'i looked at him with a blank expression and handed him a towel.

"Oh my god, I got soap in my eye."

There was another knock at the door.
